hi

this sounds like the issues i had.

the below comments where made on 31st of january, and might be helpful.

i also deleted r from my mac and cleaned all .Rhistory and R library entries according to the R uninstall guide on the CRAN R site - but the below entry did finally do the job.

The text below is from an e-mail I tried to post last week, but for some
reason it was not added to the list.  I just experienced another R crash
after attempting to open an existing document.   The nature of the crash is
that the document select window opens but rather than show the list of
available documents, the spinning ball appears and I am unable to interact
with R at all.  I have to force it to quit and then I have to delete the
"saved application state" directory and .Rhistory files.

1.  Brandon:  I was able to reproduce the behavior you describe when
launching R by clicking on an R script.  Indeed using ESC does restore the
session to 'normal.'  I do not generally launch R this way and the crashes
I experience seem to occur when I attempt to open a new script from the
"Open Document" selection in the menu bar.

2.  Christoph:  Have you tried deleting the ~/Library/Saved Application
State/org.R-project.R.savedState/  directory?   I found that I have to
delete this as well as my .Rhistory file to get R to start again after the
crash.

3.  Simon:  How does one generate a "crash log."  Is this the "report" that
comes up when "Force Quit" is used to terminate the R session?  Also, I
find that the crashes tend to occur when I try to open a script; I never
get to the point where I source it.  Would the system 'know" about any
"possibly broken packages" before the routine is sourced?

I've noticed this issue over several builds of R, and have had this issue on multiple mac (but not PC) machines. The problem is intermittent, but has been persistent for many years.


I will get the spinning rainbow ball (causing me to force quit R), when I:


use the file.choose() command


Change the working directory through the GUI tab



The issue seems to pop up randomly, with no seeming pattern as to when it will happen. But I've attached my latest crash report if this can help track down what is going on .
